The likelihood of freezing rain across most of central Wisconsin is expected to peak this
afternoon and into the evening.

The Wisconsin State Patrol reminds commuters that the road conditions may change quickly and
become hazardous during peak travel times.

If you must travel, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) reminds motorists to be
prepared for the unexpected and check winter road conditions before leaving home by visiting
Wisconsin 511 online or calling 5-1-1.

Important driving tips during icy conditions:

Allow extra time for travel.

Slow down and drive for conditions.

Be sure to keep plenty of space between you and the car in front of you. Sudden stops and sharp
turns will likely cause your car to lose control.
